Christians around the country, whether they admit it or not, are using the Bible as a basis for legislation, but what if I told you the Bible is actually very pro-choice? Last week, I wrote about how statistics show that increased access to contraceptives lowers the abortion rate. I'm pro-abortion the same way I'm pro-appendectomy […] More
50 years ago on July 20th, 1969, humans stepped foot on the surface of the moon for the very first time with the Apollo 11 mission. It was a remarkable achievement that gave the United States victory in the Space Race, and solidified NASA’s role as a leader in space exploration. The Apollo program was […] More
For one six year old boy, not being vaccinated against tetanus resulted in 2 months of intense treatments and nearly a million dollars in hospital costs in order to save his life. In a case report released by the Centers for Disease Control today, the CDC shares the story of a young boy who spent 57 […] More
I consider myself pretty open-minded. I tend to not judge others for things that they enjoy, and I recognize that pineapple on pizza is a legitimate culinary decision to make. But if you had the chance to consume the flesh of another human being, would you? That’s a question Reddit user IncrediblyShinyShart asked his friends […] More
As we talk about humans returning to the moon and the Trump administration forming the Space Force, it’s easy to think about the less-sexy bodies in the solar system, particularly Neptune and Uranus. But a group at NASA aims to change that, with plans to send probes to the planets to learn more about their […] More
It’s very interesting that, despite having increased access to information, so many Flat Earthers have shunned facts and logic in favor of one of the most strange and elaborate conspiracy theories in the history of conspiracy theories. I mean, it’s an extremely easily debunked hypothesis. It’s logically inconsistent. It doesn’t make any sense. But hey, […] More
It bewilders me that people still think that the Earth is flat. Nevertheless, the Flat Earth conspiracy is probably one of the best conspiracy theories out there. As Neil deGrasse Tyson said: The fact that there’s a rise of Flat-Earthers is evidence of two things. One, we live in a country that protects free speech. […] More
Anti-vaxxers are the 8th Wonder of the World to me. They have access to the full body of knowledge humanity possesses in their pocket, yet somehow they think they know more than doctors who have dedicated their lives to medicine. It’s a runaway Dunning-Kruger effect. The state of Washington is currently dealing with yet another […] More
If there’s one thing almost every rational person can agree on, it’s the fact that vaccines are safe and effective. Just like gravity holding us down firmly to the round Earth, climate change existing, and evolution being real, there’s an overwhelming amount of evidence proving this. If you don’t believe me here, you can simply […] More
We know a lot of things about space, and the Milky Way in particular. We know there is dark matter… somewhere. We know that the building blocks of life exist on other planets. And we know that the Earth isn’t fucking flat. But we also don’t know much at all about space. After all, there’s […] More
We’ve posted a lot about anti-vaxxers lately because they’re doing seemingly everything they can to Make Preventable Diseases Great Again. So much so that we’ve received negative feedback about it: lol. But it’s an important issue because of the potential ramifications for society as a whole. In general, anti-vaxxers aren’t stupid, and it doesn’t help […] More
Anti-vaxxers are, quite literally, the worst. I’m trying so hard as I get older to not be so judgmental. Good people can disagree in good faith about almost any topic — taxes, war, religion, whatever — and I am trying to keep that in mind when I find people who disagree with me online. But anti-vaxxers test […] More
